CLTS Reports

Reports published by CLTS will present background material or supporting information relevant for land tenure studies. This will include, but is not limited to, technical documentation of data, primary research data, primary source documents, and translated documents. It may also be used to present policy relevant assessments and evaluations as well as proceedings  from workshops and conferences.

The intention of the series is to make available and preserve documents that are not usually publishable as journal articles. Technical documentation of data and data collection is not often published in sufficient detail to be helpful for replication studies. Such detailed documentation is never important and sometimes necessary background material to understand also published articles. The reports will be required to have a form and content suitable to give them an ISBN number.
